Dear Chairman Nichols,


As a consumer and concerned citizen, I urge the California Air

Resources Board to strengthen and adopt the 2010 Consumer Products

Regulation Amendments. This would reduce the volatile organic

compounds (VOCs) found in products such as multipurpose cleaning

products, metal polishers, insecticides and window cleaners.


VOCs are toxic, smog-forming emissions that harm our health and

contaminate our air. Everyone is vulnerable to the effects of these

chemicals, which are emitted by products often used where we work

and live, as well as where our children study and play. 


•Many children in our communities suffer from asthma, and the

chemicals emitted by cleaning products at school only increase

their chances of an attack or of developing asthma in the future. 

•A recent study by the Journal of Occupational and Environmental

Medicine found that 12 percent of work-related asthma cases are

linked to the use of cleaning products. 


•According to the National Institute for Occupational Safety and

Health, teachers and janitors have the highest asthma rates in the

working population.


I encourage you to strongly regulate and reduce the harmful

chemicals in consumer products. In doing so, we can set an

important precedent in protecting the health of families and

workers—not only in our state, but nationwide as well. 


Thank you.


Sincerely,


Monica Howe

I am a California supporter of the Environmental Working Group

(EWG) who wants cleaner air. I urge the California Air Resources

Board to adopt the 2010 Consumer Products Regulation Amendments.

These amendments would reduce smog-forming volatile organic

compounds (VOCs) found in cleaning supplies and many other consumer

goods.


They would also create product-specific bans of key ingredients

with significant health or environmental concerns, including

alkylphenol ethoxylates, perchloroethylene and chemicals with high

potential to worsen global warming.


I encourage you to strongly regulate and reduce the harmful

chemicals in consumer products. In doing so, we can set an

important precedent in protecting the health of families and

workers -- not only in our state but nationwide as well.


I appreciate the protections you have already put into place --

thank you for taking air pollution and our health seriously!

Subject: Please ban or strictly regulate volatile organic compounds

Comment:

Volatile organic compounds are much worse than tobacco smoke as an

air pollutant. It is now well known that tobacco smoke is a

carcinogenic assault on human health whether it is inhaled directly

or if it is inhaled as a second-hand unintended exposure. But for

tobacco smoke the human body partially blocks out the particulates

of smoke by physically keeping some of those particles on the

outside of the lung cell wall. Unfortunately organic solvents

present in the air easily pass through the human (lung) cell wall

because those cell walls are made of lipids that easily and quickly

absorb organic solvents of all types. 


I would ask for an outright ban or very strict regulation on most

volatile organic solvents, because even licensed commercial users

of these solvents can not restrict the movement of air from

carrying these solvents once they vaporize. Co-workers in the

vicinity can't avoid exposure in just the same way that second hand

smoke exposes non-smokers to the air pollution created by burning

tobacco. People, plants, and animals breathe these gases and though

you can't see vapors in the same way one might see smoke, breathing

those vapors constitutes a very toxic assault of organic solvents

that get absorbed and circulated in our bodies.


Solvents not filtered out air by victims of exposure, will

eventually end up in watersheds and in soils that should be kept

free and clean of this assault on our health. Too many wells and

water sources have already been declared as unfit to drink for

similar reasons of toxic plumes created by these same kinds of

liquids being dumped or leaked into the soil. 


Please, please, please help California lead the nation in banning

this toxic class of chemicals from polluting our air, bodies, and

environment.

Good air quality is important. Lessening the endocrine disruptors

may even lessen the burden on our health care system, another good

Dear Chairman Nichols,


I don't live in California, rather in the pretty darn conservative

State of Montana. Our State Constitution guarantees us a right to

live in a healthy place. If California strengthens and adopts the

2010 Consumer Products Regulation Amendments, this action may

eventually filter to my home State, and to other States. I make a

concerted effort to purchase products that will if not enhance,

certainly not harm my family, my pets, and the environment. This

can be difficult, since we often don't know what is present in

multipurpose cleaning products, metal polishers, insecticides and

window cleaners, and the EPA is not allowed to regulate them.


Please maintain California's leadership in environmental matters by

limiting VOCs, as we are all vulnerable to their effects. By doing

so, you can help maintain the health of all Americans.


 


Thank you.


Sincerely,


Melanie Miller

Comment:

I am a lifelong Californian who strongly supports regulation for

cleaner air. I urge the California Air Resources Board to adopt the

2010 Consumer Products Regulation Amendments. I support the

amendments primarily because they will reduce smog-forming volatile

organic compounds (VOCs) found in cleaning supplies and many other

consumer goods. VOCs are high-priority air pollutants for stricter

regulation, in my view.


I also support the amendments' creation of product-specific bans of

key ingredients that have significant health or environmental

concerns, including alkylphenol ethoxylates, perchloroethylene and

chemicals with high potential to worsen global warming.


Approving these amendments will set an important precedent in

protecting the health of families and workers nationwide, as

California's regulations tend to lead companies to adopt our

state's standards for all of their products, everywhere they are

sold.


I appreciate the protections you have already put into place--thank

you for doing what it takes to protect public health and our

state's plethora of unique and ecologically important landscapes.
